Her song became an instant fan favorite upon release. The music video, directed by industry veteran Dave Meyers, further elevated the song’s appeal with its vibrant visuals and choreography. As of today, the “Espresso” music video has amassed over 164 million views.
Winning “Song of the Year” at the VMAs is no small feat, especially considering the stiff competition the singer faced. This year, the category was stacked with chart-dominating hits from some of the biggest names in music, including Beyoncé, Jack Harlow, Kendrick Lamar, Taylor Swift, and Teddy Swims.
Carpenter expressed overwhelming gratitude to her fans, team, and family while accepting her award. She heartwarmingly stated, “I just feel so grateful to have the best, truly, the best fans in the world.”
